Case size: Stick with a mid tower or bigger (full size/server). Anything smaller than a mid tower is gonna have heat problems, especially when cooling with air. Such cases are just a pocket of heat, this is not good. Make sure as you have somewhat previously stated and I'm just confirnming. The...

I think most case manufactures are going after the younger aged user (mainly kids...no offense). Most seasoned users/builders have learned such cases are eye candy only and really lack in the department of providing adequate to efficent cooling. Needless to say, most of these cases also don't...

I'm not a hater of either (Amd or Intel) and like both. AMD: AMD, has finally got it together after struggling for the longest time. Their A64's and 939 cpu's are their top notch showcase offerings. Their FX offering is just alittle rich for my blood and don't see the sense in spending that...

The "Heat" issue with the prescott's are a concern but shouldn't be that much of a concern to keep from buying one. The Prescott's are fast cpu's. HSF unit to keep it cool? Get thermalright's XP-90 and the LGA 775 adapter if your mobo requires it. These HSF unit's are very effective in keeping...

When one gets a "good" DFI board theres not a better board. However, DFI's tech/forum at dfi street, is nortorious at suggesting the problem/s or conflict one has, is with another piece of hardware. RMA the board and hope you get a good one, and if you get a good one, you have the better board...

Nice, the Black Praetorian's are sweet indeed and imo it's Coolermaster's best midtower offering. The only downside, is theres only one exhaust fan in the back which I wish they had two, OR, placed the fan up a bit to make room to squeeze in another fan below it.. Where its located makes...

SVC? I ordered from them once, and since their prices were very nice I ordered alot of stuff at once. It took over 6 weeks to get my stuff, I kid you not. Thats way to long for any order. SVC is nortorious with problems. I honestly would look else where if all possible. The exception with...

I'm following this thread too because at some point I'd would like to do the same. However, I'm surprised since ccfl's have been around for awhile now, that nobody hasn't done this yet. We got fan controllers all over the web and we can't get a quality ccfl controller, that would have a on and...

Yep, it does have two exhaust 80mm fans in the back, unfortunatley this doensn't help its butt ugly front. Why, didn't they do this (two exhaust fans in the back) with the original praetorian?

I'm not sure if you have decided this particular route...making a mobo tray, PS holder and etc, but this site has everything you need. Making these items from scratch provides a tacky cosmetic appearance. The can/case itself is very nice just reffering to the inward parts. I don't know, if its...
